nREPL is a really interesting protocol for developer tools. It's extensible, but one of the basic operations is eval(). If your nREPL server doesn't support a given operation, you can just send an eval request to achieve the same result!

Are there any developer experience advantages for `x := 1` over `let x = 1`? A `let` keyword probably improves parsing error behaviour, and makes declarations more visible. := is more concise though.
